Q: Is this equivalent to 20 lb of regular cat litter

submitted by Kimmy 20 - 2 months ago
  • A: Great question! While Arm & Hammer™ Hardball Cat Litter comes in a 10.5 lb bag, its powerful clumping and odor control may mean you use less over time compared to some 20 lb regular litters. It’s designed to be long-lasting, so performance—not just weight—is what really counts! 🐱💪

    I like that it is lightweight, but the claim that it forms “hard compact balls” is not accurate. It forms a large, gelatinous mass. Not hard at all. I can’t believe they can even claim that it does. It’s laughable. The only thing I like is that it’s lightweight.

    I am fostering five feral kittens and have been using this since I got them a month ago. This is the most awesome litter! With any other scoopable litter, you can get the little pee ball in the scooper and wiggle it to drop the leftover over loose litter and the little pee ball starts to break apart. This means you're putting "used" litter back into the pan. NOT WITH HARDBALL. The little pee balls are almost a rubbery consistency and STAY TOGETHER. This is a great product. However, a little pricey! Please let me know where I can get coupons. THANK YOU ARM & HAMMER!

    Terrible Odor Control

    Melissa - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
    The clumping function of this litter was fine, not really any different than a clay-based litter, but it did an average job. The odor control was nonexistent though, yikes. The litter itself is heavily fragranced, yet it does very little to contain litterbox odors. Worth a try, but I chucked it before we even finished the box.

    We’re sorry to hear about your experience with Hardball Litter, Melissa. While the clumping worked, it sounds like the odor control and fragrance didn’t meet your expectations—definitely not the fresh home vibe we aim for. Please call or text us at (800) 833-9532, or chat at www.armandhammer.com, Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET, and provide case number: 07738680 so we can help make this right.

    I cannot remember where I first stumbled upon this product, but it was not yet in the stores locally. I purchased it and used it in one of the litter boxes. One of my cats immediately began using it. I usually do not purchase lightweight litter because of the dust. I like that this produces very hard clumps, and is easy to sweep up. When I first found it in my local store, a lady in the checkout line noticed it and she remarked that it was a good choice and her preferred cat litter.

    I have 3 cats that all use one massive litter box (they all use the same one even if there’s 10 other litter boxes regardless). Before this litter I was using the clump and seal and slide, but saw this on discount. WOW it is awesome. The easiest scooping experience, great odor control, great value, and I don’t break my back carrying it up the stairs. I’ve used every type of litter imaginable and this is the best one! My cats agree as well :)

    I bought this a couple months ago and found our forever cat litter! It really does what it says on the label. Creates tight clumps and doesn’t waste litter. Low dust, low tracking AND it’s gentle on my 2yo declawed cat. My kitten who is 4 moths took right to this litter and prefers it to all others! Absolutely NO odor even using the unscented….very impressive!

    Hardball Lightweight is easy to clean, has low dust, and has minimal tracking. We also appreciated how lightweight it was. However, one of my two cats refused to urinate in the box after a few days, and we had to keep cleaning up after him as he kept going on the floor next to the box instead. We ended up switching back to Cloud Control Platinum Clumping.

    Been a cat parent for 60 years and there is no better than Hardball, Lightweight It truly is the best! Easiest to scoop and stays together. Clumps lock in the awful urine odor. Little goes a long way, I use much less litter than I ever did before. Expensive, but worth every penny.
